Nationwide Injury & Commercial Lawyers Helping Small Businesses and Individuals Recover from Illegal Trump Tariffs

Were You or Your Business Hit Hard by Trump's Illegal Emergency Tariffs?


In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that President Trump exceeded his authority by imposing sweeping global tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). These "Liberation Day" tariffs, starting in 2025, collected billions in unlawful duties—estimated at over $130–$170 billion—from U.S. importers, businesses, and ultimately consumers through higher prices on everyday goods.


The ruling in cases like Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump and V.O.S. Selections, Inc. v. United States declared these tariffs invalid, as IEEPA does not authorize the president to levy tariffs (a power reserved for Congress).


Hundreds of small businesses have already filed lawsuits seeking refunds from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Major companies like FedEx, Costco, and others are also pursuing claims. For everyday consumers, who often paid inflated prices on imported products (from electronics to clothing to food), options may include class action lawsuits against companies that passed on costs without refunding them.


If you are a small business importer/retailer that paid extra duties or a consumer who faced higher prices due to these illegal tariffs, you may be entitled to recovery.

Key Developments (as of March 2026)


  • Supreme Court struck down IEEPA tariffs on February 20, 2026—no authority for broad presidential tariffs.
  • Thousands of importers (many small businesses) filing refund suits in the Court of International Trade (CIT).
  • No automatic refund process yet—government resistance could lead to prolonged litigation.
  • Consumers may pursue class actions if retailers/shippers (e.g., FedEx, UPS) fail to pass refunds forward.
  • New replacement tariffs (e.g., 10–15% under other laws) face potential challenges—stay informed.
